French and Stanford in one post!

Many of you know that La Croque Madame is a Stanford sports nut.  Therefore I was very happy when Stanford beat USC in football 21-14.  People thought that since we no longer had Andrew Luck as our quarterback, that we were done.  But the Cardinal has a new quarterback, Josh Nunes.  He was interviewed on ESPN for a segment that aired this morning.  Besides being a cool quarterback, it turns out that Josh took 3 years of French in high school, and that he was asked a question in French. Josh answered in French; pretty good French, too.
So, French is for diplomats, science geeks AND American football  players.  Ouais!

Summer is over, so time to plan for next summer!

Bonjour tout le monde!
School has started, and most people are back into the rhythm of the season: classes,work, homework,  the usual. And, of course, that means it is time to think about what you are going to do next summer!
I have an answer for you - Madame's custom tour to France and Italy.  Spend 12 days touring Paris, taking the TGV to the South of France, visiting Monaco before entering Italy and walking through Cinque Terre.  The tour ends in Milan before we board a flight home.  Imagine sitting at a cafe in Paris, seeing the Roman aqueduct of the Pont du Gard, strolling along the Promenade des Anglais in Nice with friends and family.
The deposit that holds your space on this tour is only $95, and a payment plan is available.  Don't miss out on this fabulous voyage!

La Pire Haleine du Monde - no translation needed!

A new place to visit! Saint-Cirq Lapopie, recently voted France's favorite village

Bonjour tout le monde!
As I was perusing the newspaper, I came across this Los Angeles Times article on a cool medieval town that  is suffering from its popularity.  Although I have not been to this part of  France, it seems like a great place that is "off the beaten path"; after all, who doesn't want to go where the locals go?
